About: 🐶1.5 acres fenced in yard. 🐶Veterinary assistant background. 🐶Low volume boarding/daycare. 🐶Licensed and insured. Pet first aid and CPR certified. Compassionate, reliable, responsible and patient....your pets home away from home. We have lots of room to run and play and explore, and they are always supervised. We have a pool if your dog likes water, and again, they will always be supervised if they do like to swim. We have a separate fenced in play area for smaller and older dogs when we have higher energy dogs here. It's always better to be safe than sorry. Safety is my top priority here. PLEASE READ ALL!! I always require a meet and greet and a paid trial daycare assessment and for any stays over 2 nights, I also require a paid overnight. The safety and comfort of your dog is my top priority and I want them to be happy here. These assessments tell me alot about your dog and how they will be with us. I look forward to meeting you and your pets. I can't wait to love and spoil them. This is my full-time job, so I will be home and have lots of time to spoil and love on your pets while they are with me. I will love them just like my own. They will enjoy lots of outdoor time in our fenced yard (weather permitting). They will be getting lots of belly rubs and scritches if they like that. Basically, when they are with me they get spoiled and catered to. We have a safe and secured fenced in 1.5 acres, with lots of room to run, play and just lay in the sun. They will always be supervised while outside. I will go over their typical home routine with you so I can stay as close to what they are used to when they are here.
About: I have been around my family's pets since birth-dogs of all sizes and cats-but my journey with caring for them began when I was 14. I helped birth, raise, and train three litters of great dane puppies over the course of a few years and have loved and advocated for them ever since. I still petsit the dogs in my family household in their senior years. I understand that all animals have unique body language and I strive to pay great attention to this. As a house and petsitter, I will always adhere to your personal advice, if you have it: how to interpret your dogs' unique behavior, how to engage with their personality, and how to make them the most comfortable. I also trust my intuition and will always prioritize their safety. I look forward to being a great friend and caregiver to your furbabies! I am a student; From January to March I attend physical classes two days a week and I will be available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fri/Sat/Sun. I cannot care for pets in my own home, however, I will travel up to an hour to care for them in your home. I have a driver's license and vehicle. I will provide the play and exercise per your pet's individual needs, feed them and keep water fresh, administer medication if needed per your instructions, and drive them to their favorite park or vet appointments.

“I call Rhonda B the animal whisperer! I have watched her care for so many animals. Most recently she took in a Bugeyed Pigeon someone had abandoned. She has a way with all animals & is so loving and gentle with them & they love her! She has walked and cared for my rescue dog Rudy for several years. He is a tough cookie having been so abused by his previous owner. He runs & hides when approached. I have had him for 11 years & he is still timid around my husband, but not Rhonda B!! Rudy runs to her & jumps in her lap. He loves her, which is why I gave her the animal whispered nickname. I would HiGHLY recommend her! She is very dependable & will love & care for your dogs like she would her own!”
